Fungus Among Us

 Good morning,

Kjell snapped this image of a clump of mushrooms near the bottom of our driveway.  He asked if we're ready for mushroom soup.

Uh, noooooo.  Don't think so!   

I'll get my 'shrooms from Kroger, thanks.

Lamb and Cabbage

 Good morning,

This past weekend we had our first freeze of the season.  It was the perfect time to enjoy lamb and cabbage prepared the Norwegian way.

Of course, Kjell is the expert in this department.  This is quite simple to prepare and very delicious to eat!  It's just cabbage cooked with chunks of lamb with a little pepper added.  Long, slow cooking is the trick to make it so very tender and delicious.

Thanks, Sweetie, this was scrumptious!

Love you,

Lois

Needlework and Wood Working Update - November, 2026

 Good morning,

Welcome to this edition of our Needlework and Wood Working Update where we collect images of all items finished in our needlework and wood working studios since the last update.

Above is a Nordic Intarsia Knit hat that is hand knit and one of a kind.  What a bright and beautiful way to go into cooler weather this year!  More information and images can be found here. 

 Here's a similar hat in Yellow and White.  More about this one is here.

 Here's a large to extra large basket weave hat that is super soft and a pleasure to wear. The hat rolls up to fit in your coat pocket and is a great gift for a man or a woman.  More images and information here.

 This was the month to make a few brightly colored hats.  The dark days of winter can be dangerous so bright colors are a wise choice.  This cloche hat can also be used as a chemo cap.  This one is here.

 Here's a similar hat in bright yellow.  

 This one is Mint Green.

 I restocked the Navy Toilet Tissue Topper sold recently, too.  This one is available to ship now.

 This New Large Afghan Blanket is Extra Warm.  It tops a Full or Twin bed or can be used on your couch or recliner.  The special yarn is medium blue with highlight/flecks of color that adds texture and warmth.  See more images and information here.

 Kjell has been very busy with his computer this month turning images into three dimensional artwork to carve.

 Here's my Viking in unfinished maple wood before finishing.

 And, here it is finished.

Kjell did such a beautiful job on his Viking carving that he did the same with our three girls.

 

The first two images are different angles of the Elsa carving.

The next two are Wendy...

...and here is Lily.

Here they are displayed on a shelf in our dining room.  Sorry, these are not available in the shop. We're keeping them. 

These take a tremendous amount of time for Kjell to make, but they are so worth it.  They are beautiful!

So, that's what we have been doing recently.  We hope you'll stop by our shop, Evensens Productions, when shopping for yourself and others!   We have more than 300 original and traditional hand crafted items available to ship now.

All the very best,

Lois

Preview of Coming Attraction This Week

 Good morning,

Catherine sent me this image of her sushi at Tokyo Restaurant a day ago.  We'll be dining there with her this coming week and I know what I will order!

This looks marvelous!

Do you like sushi?

Work in Process - Baby Sweater

 Good morning,

I'm currently working on a Lady Bug Baby Sweater Set for the shop.   I haven't made one of these for awhile because knitting these is harder on my fingers/hands than crochet or quicker knit projects.  

I'm so glad I wrote down my pattern when I designed this outfit.  I would hate to reinvent the wheel for this one!

In the meantime, there are many other items ready to ship for all ages in the shop now. 

What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the very best,

Lois
